Actress Vanessa Williams dished to Parade.com about the final season of Desperate Housewives, how she plans to stay in touch with her co-stars and more. Check out some hightlights:

On the upcoming series finale of Desperate Housewives…
“Unfortunately, that show’s going too, but at least we had a forewarning. They’ve been doing it for eight years, I’m just happy to be able to jump on the last two. It’s been wonderful. We still have another seven episodes to shoot, so we don’t finish until the end of April. The mood on set hasn’t been too sad because we still have a tremendous amount of work to do, but I’m sure after eight years it’s going to get kind of teary toward the end.”

On what’s in store for the women on Wisteria Lane…
“I don’t know. We rarely know what’s going to happen from episode to episode. I don’t know whether it’s intentional, but we get scripts sometimes the night before we shoot. It might be a good idea because then nothing ever gets leaked. All I know is that I hope I remain on the lane and stay alive! That’s my wish.”

On staying in touch with her Desperate co-stars…
“Hopefully we’ll continue to be friends. The same thing happened with Ugly Betty. Tomorrow, I’m actually off to see Michael Urie star in How to Succeed in Business Without Really Trying, and then I’m having lunch in between shows with Judith Light, and America Ferrera and I texted last week. We’re all still connected and I think the same thing will happen with the Desperate Housewives girls. I’ve been to Felicity Huffman’s house for game night, and I’ve been to Teri Hatcher’s house the past two years for her annual Halloween party. When you spend a lot of hours with people that you enjoy and work with you become friends and I hope that lasts.”

VANESSA Williams is riding high. Not only is her show, “Ugly Betty,” a hit – she just signed an endorsement deal with Proactiv worth nearly $20 million. Williams’ contract with the skin-care brand is similar to Jessica Simpson’s, which is netting her $3 million a year for five years. But Williams will earn even more because, a source said, “She is going to be developing a cosmetics line for the company.” A rep for the beauty didn’t return e-mails.

Racy photos of the hot couple were published in this week’s Life & Style magazine, showing the two engaged in a heavy makeout session in a jacuzzi at a private resort in Mexico. We’re told, however, these photos only show part of the fun the couple had. Arriba!

TMZ has learned that the rest of the roll shows the two not only making out, but having hardcore sex in the hot tub. A source who has seen the photos tells TMZ that they are “Paris sex tape-level scandalous,” and include images of the couple in several different sex positions. That’s hot!

High-powered Hollywood attorney Marty Singer has sent a letter to the weekly mags, warning them that should they publish the steamy pics, they’ll face one mother of a lawsuit. Don’t mess with Marty!

Singer told TMZ the photographer was “outrageous and malicious,” adding, “The photos that were taken of our clients by a Mexican photographer violated Mexican law and were a clear invasion of privacy, and we have threatened to take legal action against third parties who publish the photos.”

TMZ contacted the photo agency who took the pics. We were told in no uncertain terms that they were NOT for sale!
